People in our communities are suffering from many hardships, but despite being extremely challenging it also brings about lessons that will help us grow in many ways. Pain relating to these hardships can either be short or linger on for many years. The Quran indicates that with difficulty comes ease, even though we do not completely understand that during the hardship, we are in most instances able to reflect on the ease Allah (God) is referring too.
Adversities on the other hand are misfortunes such as poverty or suffering from hunger. It is important to note that circumstances could easily change, therefore we should be extremely grateful for everything we have been granted. We are blessed that we are able to provide much needed meals to those in need in our communities and we hope to create awareness in order that we assist wherever possible to help where needed.
Today we fed 2,750 people from Lavender Hill, Khayelitsha, Parkwood, Manenberg, Seawinds, Vrygrond, Milnerton and Egoli Informal Settlement in Phillipi taking the total amount fed to date to 210,000 people.
As Rumi said, “God sends hope in the most desperate moments. Don’t forget the heaviest rain comes out of the darkest clouds.” May we be the rain to nourish and bring hope to the impoverished and destitute within our communities to allow them to grow.
